Plus, get ready for... Ikea-inspired horror?
Scream 8 might already be in the works. Damien Leone offers an update on Terrifier 4. James Gunn insists the Amazonian TV series Paradise Lost is still happening. Plus, new looks at Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, The Vampire Lestat, and more. To me, my spoilers! Astronaut Down According to Deadline, Sam Esmail is teaming with AfterShock Media and Netflix on Astronaut Down, a feature film based on the comic book of the same title by writer James Patrick and artist Rubine. Written for the screen by F. Scott Frazier (XXX: Return of Xander Cage), the story follows Douglas Spritzer, “an astronaut selected to be launched into alternate realities on a desperate mission to save Earth from a horrific crisis that has our world on the brink of extinction. Unfortunately, it’s a mission where everything will go wrong, where Douglas’ training and very humanity will be put to the test, and where a deep-seated secret could sabotage everything.” Horrorstör THR reports Jonathan Levine (Tell Me Lies) has been hired to write and direct the film adaptation of Grady Hendrix’s Horrorstör for Searchlight Pictures. The story concerns an “Ikea-like furniture superstore named Orsk in Cleveland that becomes subjected to supernatural occurrences. To uncover the mystery, a group of employees sign up for a night shift, only to get way more than they bargained for, in a most sinister way.” A Little Slice of Hell Deadline reports David F. Sandberg is attached to direct A Little Slice of Hell, a horror film at Paramount based on a short story of the same name by John Goodrich. The story follows “two underpaid supermarket employees who realize that they should have read the employee manual after encountering a customer from Hell—literally.” Scream 8 According to Variety, “insiders suggest plans are already in place” for an eighth Scream film. Terrifier 4 Meanwhile, Damien Leone revealed on social media he hopes Terrifier 4 will enter pre-production this spring. Hey guys, I know it’s been a while so I wanted to drop in and give an official Terrifier 4 update 🤡 🤘: pic.twitter.com/9JF5snZgLA — Damien Leone (@damienleone) February 25, 2026 The Mummy The mummy doesn’t appreciate being unwrapped in a new clip from Lee Cronin’s The Mummy. Yellowjackets Deadline reports Molly Ringwald has joined the cast of Yellowjackets‘ fourth and final season as Van’s mom, Vicky, “a recently recovered alcoholic trying her best to course correct her past.” Paradise Lost James Gunn corrected the Wonder Woman prequel series Paradise Lost is “definitely not” cancelled in a recent post on Threads. Definitely not. Jesus I go on Threads for the first time in weeks and it’s just one insanely wrong thing after the other. What is going on? Daredevil: Born Again During a recent interview with SFX Magazine (via Heroic Hollywood), Daredevil: Born Again showrunner Dario Scardapane suggested the series will not crossover with any of the MCU’s movie characters. I’d be into it, because I dig the comics! But no. That’s been kind of a fun and challenging thing. We know there’s that huge world out there of the MCU. This corner of it has crossovers. We’ve seen Daredevil in other shows. There are other characters that are going to be popping up in movies and stuff, and that all goes into the larger MCU of it all. The joke we make is, ‘Oh, those guys are uptown – we’re downtown!’ We kind of have a pocket that’s in this world of Hell’s Kitchen, in this world of New York. I always think that maybe these characters take little vacations into the larger world, but the story that we’re focusing on is really granular. Ghosts Spoiler TV has a synopsis for “The List”, the March 5 episode of Ghosts. Pictures at the link. Sam and Jay work to secure Woodstone B&B a coveted spot on a prestigious luxury hotel list, only to face unexpected chaos when a vengeful newly discovered bunker ghost disrupts a crucial visit. Meanwhile, Flower and Thor clash over who gets to call the shots in their relationship. Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 Collider has seven character posters from Stranger Things: Tales from ’85. Primal Spear gets into a pit fight with a giant in a clip from this Sunday’s episode of Primal.
